I have known people in the past say that they worked from home to make extra income, and I was wondering where I might be able to find out some legitimate info on what kinds of things I might possible be able to do from home. A friend suggested doing surveys on-line.????? anyone know anything about this or any other options.. It's going on a month now without working, still sending out resumes and putting in apps. but was going to try to do something for the time being, and maybe even in my spare time once I'm back working????? Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated...


Thanks... cheers

It all depends on what you want to do, man. If you don't mind doing 1099 (contracted work, basically you need a business licence and an Insurance BOP, or Business Operations Policy) there's actually a lot of Work at Home for customer service/Medical Transcription/ and data entry. But with the economy the way it is, its hard to get your foot in the door with the companies that will contract this sort of work.

One place I know of, although I don't think they're hiring is:





Good luck!wine

I tried the on-line surveys before...you have to be careful with those...because a lot of the time you go through the entire survey (20 minutes, sometimes longer) and when you finally finish and click the final button to get the credit survey...there is an error...and then you dont get the credit (but they get all their answers)...so I wouldn't trust it...you can try it for fun, but in general I found that usually only the extremely cheap paying surveys work...sigh

As far as I can find, most of what is offered on the internet are scams, and get rich quick crapola. I really wish that there was something I could offer you. Maybe if you were here in Jersey I could do more for you, but the distance sucks. Sorry man, but hang in there. handshake

Thank you all for your posts, but as for your information trish,

I was welding railroad cars and underground storage tanks between the ages of 18-21, then a Bar and grill manager then did concrete work and framed houses til last year, because I remodeled a couple of house from then til about a month ago... I started working when I was 9 in the summertime for farmers, from picking beans, corn detasseling and baling hay until I was 14 then I worked at an Abry's through a work program at school...I have never been afraid of work there darling... look at my pics. you can tell by my waist I'm not lazy, but as for you I can't come to the same conclusion... are you done following me around yet??????

I tried to find something to do this with, too...and found that it costs money or requires a landline at home, which I don't have. I wish you luck, Tater, and will keep you in my prayers.

hug Blessings, sweetie. hug Have faith, pray, and it will work out right in the end.

Are you adept on the computer?

You could offer remote services for doing computer fix-its or lessons for those that may not be so able.

I do software and/or web developing from home and market is not bad but you'd need special skills for it.

I hope you'll find something from other suggestions, Tater.

The best of luck to you. teddybear
